I'm back from the US, missed a few weeks posting so......

How far have we all got then ?

I'm onto the boring bits like wrestling the suspension apart and getting the engine bay nice and clean(ish).

Don't suppose you've got a part number for those Landy oil return firrings have you Ant?

hi ant
just got my metric blues from the states,heads coming off this weekend to be gas flowed and fettled.When i get head back on i will mount manifold and then some more fab work is needed on the adaptor.

ps.ive peeled the alpina stripes off !!!
It aint one so.......
Gone go back to 325is on boot and maybe a turbo badge for grille

Waiting on my MS to arrive and currently scratching my head as to where the water bottles are going to go, not sure if the elec pumps will have enough power to run them from the boot, gonna have another go this week.

Then I'm getting some nice new sticky Yokohamas A520's to see if I can get some grip when she's all fitted and running.

And pay off the last few debts related to this project, then fit the lot!!

im hoping to cram my washer bottles in the battery tray,failing that they'll have to go in the boot.Just fit a few one way valves and it should be ok.

waiting for frosted to come up with the supercharger, he seems to have things well under control (nice one frosted!) then the real project will begin.

Hope you had a good time in the states.

Thing is my downpipe may run a little close to the battery tray anyway so it may not be far enough away to avoid meltdown and I don't really fancy having them in the car itself so boot maybe the only place for them to go.....still I'll have fun in the evenings this week sorting this out

Welcome back Ant!
Sport is no more complete than she was 2 months ago. Shes on full "Stop" at the moment, as I dont have the money to finish her AND pay for my trip to USA later in the year. Unfortunately, the trip comes first in the list of priorities, as its a building block to my future career. The car looks tidy in the garage though, and its nice and dry in there, so shes not going rotten again or anything. Got another breaker to be going on with too! Hopefully thats gonna pay for part of my USA trip if i can get rid of some of the bits! Not going well so far though, hense me deciding to flog my 3.64 LSD to get some cash.

Where did u go anyway? Business or Pleasure?

Scott, bit off both mate, twas superb, I stayed in Cleremont, about 20 mins from orlando proper. Excellent area for everthing including bling bling 24s

Turbo-Brown, part numbers as follows dude.

Oil return fitting for sump(suface mount type) STC4534 Ԛ£10.11+vat
Gasket for the above: 8510016 Ԛ£0.23+

as for the washer bottle issue..... mk 1 golf rear bottle fits on the tray pukky and holds enough to make it a worthwhile mod, Fozzy thats the cheap way to heated washer jets dude

we'll cut and shut the downpipes dude, no worries.

Andy: good call dude, Stripes will be missed though.....

Hey Ant,

2.7 is finished and also run in, will have to speak to you about popping down

Ant, do u reckon i could squeeze 24s under the arches of my sport!? and will B.A. accept them as hand luggage?
